Daltonism

by Richard Morton

Daltonism is a Textmate theme that helps pair programmers with different color perception work together on the same document, on the same screen, at the same time.

There are broadly three main categories of color blindness (or Dichromacy), Deuteranopia, Protanopia, and Tritanopia. The principle design goal for the Daltonism theme was to provide good contrast for each of these color perceptions, along with what might be called normal human vision.

Dominion Day

by Nathan Duran

Dominion Day is another low contrast theme which puts color theory to work for the maintenance coder. Analogous shades coax your eyes into focusing on the parts of your markup which tend to have the greatest visual impact for the end user. Sure, those DIV tags are important, but once typed you rarely need visit them again. Their attributes might be edited slightly more frequently, so they command a bit more attention, with executable code and the text which is actually drawn to the screen being the most visually pronounced elements. Absolutely no bolds, italics or underlines.

Created primarily for use with HTML, CSS and PHP, but JavaScript, Ruby and Python look OK, too. Python could be a lot better, but the current bundle just isn't very comprehensive in its grammar definitions, so there it is.

HTML:

Ruby:

Definitely not for use by people who hate purple or work in brightly lit rooms.

eclips3.media (ECLM)

by liquid @ eclips3.media

Advantages:

  • Real code stands out, comments are "hidden" behind still readable
  • Functional parts are highlighted (such as functions)
  • Dark theme which does not annoy eyes after much of hours - like too bright themes
  • Use it and you will notice a lot more.

Emacs

by Joshua Emmons

Colors sampled directly from the default emacs theme (when the background is set to black, of course). Transparency and "Textmate Purple" current-line highlighting added because I couldn't help myself.
